  • Page 14 To maintain the housing protection, make sure that the housing lid is closed during operation and locked, if necessary. Caution: Transport Do not hold OPTISWITCH 5300 C on the tuning fork. Particularly with flange or tube versions, the tuning fork can be damaged just by the weight of the instrument. Transport coated instruments very carefully and avoid touching the tuning fork.

Temperature isolation - max. 50 mm (1.97 in) Ambient temperature on the housing Inflowing medium If OPTISWITCH 5300 C is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount OPTISWITCH 5300 C • Transistor (NPN/PNP)

This applies particularly to instrument types with long extension tube. Fig. 8: Inflowing medium Product flow To make sure the tuning fork of OPTISWITCH 5300 C generates as little resistance as possible to product flow, mount the sensor so that the surfaces are parallel to the product movement.
